1946 Girard Perregaux Pocket Watch real? gold? fake?

Hi. I have found a girl whom is selling a Girard Perregaux Pocket Watch for $10. I am sure she has no idea about watches for she is young. She sent me photos of it and the back of the case says RRX (which i assume is initials of someone), and then down bottom it says Dec 1946. The front of the watch has gold numbers and hands and does say Girard Perregaux on it. The pictures she has are not very good for she only has a web cam. I have researched it and cannot find anything on this year or watch with a case such as this. Was it a US made case? I am just checking to see if anyone knows if it is REAL or FAKE and if it is gold or not? I did not want to ask her to open up the watch to read inside or to look to see if it stated 14k or such anywhere for then she may realize it is worth alot. Sorry, I am not a bad person but this is a good deal I think. Any thoughts would be great!!!! Thanks

Why not just buy it and find out. I mean, it's $10! And how young is the vendor? I wouldn't feel comfortable buying on the cheap from a teenager. Could be her dad's or something anyway

Then paid what she asked for. Don't put her in so much hassle for only $10. It's like buying a lottery ticket. If it's GP, then you won, otherwise try again next week...
